Thanks Robert for posting this fascinating manual. Obvious this machine had to be near you, like in a kitchen where you could watch it because some homemaker would miss the rinse cycle and forget about the bluing. Some of those chemicals you had to purchased from a druggist almost required a...

Gorgeous Cake Look delicious. I like the idea of putting it with flowers and placing them in front of a large mirror. John

Thanks everyone I found what CircleW suggested at my local Lowes and will try to install it this evening. John

Yesterday, I dropped a large bottle of bleach from the shelf in back of the dryer and it landed my dryer hose. I pulled the dryer from the wall and made an attempt to repair the hose only to find there is a large hole midway. I have always thought there was too much hose behind the dryer. Does...

Nice collections of vintage treasures I need to go estates sales, but how do you find them in your area? Is that Arlene Dahl on the cover on that magazine? I also thought she was a glamous lady and I believe she had a 15 minute TV show back in the 60s dealing with lady's fashions, etc. John

OMG gansky1 I had a stove like this at my last condo. It was a Magic Chef. I hated that damn stove. You could never use a large stock pot and it was always blowing circuits. By the way, I wonder how many curlers it took Margo to get her hair like that. Oh, those 70s with all its Harvest...

Oh, this is so sad! I was just watching Golden Girls this morning. Now, only Betty White is left. John

Well, I have learned something I have never heard of the oven method. My grandmother would wrapped her jar in old rags and place them in a large kettle (or wash pot) that was filled with boiling water. She like this outdoor water bath method because she did not have to heat up the kitchen.

Boy, does this bring back memories My mother and I would put up blackberry, apple, peach, pear jelly when I grew up on our farm. My mother swore by Sure-gel and would use only Dixie Crystal sugar. She would insist on using fresh fruit and to measure ingredients accurately. Once you brought...

I have a Spanx undershirt and it really works especially for supporting my lower back. My only complaint is the price...$60 for a undershirt. John

I have been watching old episodes of "Mad Men" and noticed that one of the main male character, Don Draper lives in a beautiful house, gorgeous wife, and 2.5 kids, but has one of the worst kitchen I have ever seen. The kitchen looks like something you would see in a middle income family, not...

I thought Mrs. Stevens had a portable dishwasher with a glass front?

My prayers also goes out to this young man. I hope he will be there for the birth of his children. John

Thanks for posting this. I like the fact that today's refrigerators are using less energy than the ones our parents used. John

So Just Go Back to 40+ No one will ber know. Hope to is successful in getting clothes clean. John

The only thing I can add here is that being a nurse and have worked with the elderly is that lots of elderly folks just don't like showers as they are actually afraid of having water sprayed on them. It was if they were afraid of being drowned. When I worked in a nursing home, we had a...
